Tour of Spain and US Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado

You wouldn't know it from reading the Washington Post, but two international cycling events were held recently. The Tour of Spain (Vuelta a Espana) is still underway. For those of you who get the Universal Sports channel, you can watch the final week live in the morning and recaps later in the day.

On Sunday Levi Leipheimer won the US Pro Cycling Challenge, a new stage race in Colorado. Most of the major U.S. pros were present along with the winner of the Tour de France, Cadel Evans, who finished 7th, the Schleck brothers, and many others. The top five finishers were from the U.S.: 1. Leipheimer, L., 2. VandeVelde, C. 3. Van Garderen, T. 4. Danielson, T. and 5. Hincapie, G.
